2nd CIRP Conferenceon Composite Material Parts Manufacturing

10th & 11th October 2019

Conference scope

4

This conference offers a tremendous opportunity for experts spanning from academia to industry in the field of composite material parts manufacturing to present and discuss their findings on a very high level, stimulating and supporting the knowledge in this field. The 2nd CIRP CCMPM follows on from the success of the 1st conference of its kind, which was founded in 2017 by our esteemed colleagues, Professor Jürgen Fleischer and Professor Roberto Teti. The need for such a conference was identified during a namesake CIRP Collaborative Working Group (CWG). Since the formation of these CWG meetings, the topics “Design and Lifecycle”, “Part Generation” and “Part Finishing and Assembly” were each discussed in every meeting, and always with a focus on industrial use-cases. The aim of the conference is to bring together and share novel production research, technologies and solutions to the global composite manufacturing community. This is underpinned by an international scientific committee of highly esteemed researchers of composite material parts manufacturing and other related research areas.

The plan during this conference is to demonstrate and exhibit a number of new and innovative technologies under the topics of ‘Design and Lifecycle’, ‘Part Generation’ and ‘Part finishing and assembly’ that deliver real world benefits. These will be interspersed within three parallel sessions concerning the aforementioned topics.

Welcome to the AMRC.

On behalf of the organising committee.

Dr Kevin Kerrigan,Conference Chair.

Known the world over as a Steel City, Sheffield was famed for its industry in the heyday of the 1900s and remains a city of innovation to this day.

However the smoking chimney stacks are no more and instead you’ll find a green, modern cityscape set against the stunning backdrop of the Peak District National Park.

We have a friendly, independent and alternative spirit that you won’t find in other cities, alongside a thriving cultural scene boasting award-winning theatre, beer, music, festivals, street art and so much more.

It’s all here waiting for you: Welcome to Sheffield.

Travelling to Sheffield by Air: With 4 international airports within less than an hour’s drive, Sheffield is easy to reach from overseas destinations.

Manchester Airport, one of the UK’s busiest, has a regular direct rail service to Sheffield. Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport is served by a number of European destinations with charter flight routes. Leeds Bradford Airport is also well served by European and long haul destinations. Sheffield can be reached by using a taxi service or bus to Leeds and then train to Sheffield.

Nottingham East Midlands receives routes from European and long haul destinations. Sheffield can be reached by road using a taxi service, or take the airport shuttle to East Midlands Parkway and take the train (operated by East Midlands Trains) to the centre of Sheffield.

To ensure your easy onward journey from your airport of choice, why not book your airport transfer in advance with one of the private hire taxi companies in Sheffield. You can book City Taxis online or call them direct on 0114 239 3939 or travel using UBER

Travelling to Sheffield by train:If you are travelling from London, or on routes operated by East Midlands Trains, you might find our ‘special event tickets’ a value for money travel option.

The mainline station in Sheffield offers an impressive entry to the City, with fast direct links from London St Pancras International departing every 30 minutes from early morning to late at night. Coming in from Europe? The Eurostar link from Paris arrives at London St Pancras International - you can be in Sheffield in just 5 hours after leaving Paris.

The journey from London is now only 2hrs and 1mins, the service is operated by East Midlands Trains with both First and Standard Class seating available. There are also hourly fast trains from Manchester City Centre and direct services from Manchester International airport.

Regional Train Services: Sheffield is so easy to reach by train, whether you’re travelling from North, South, East or West. Take a look at the special offers from TransPennine Express or at the services provided by Northern Rail as great starting points to planning your visit.
